Pai Pai Ensenada, 88 for adults and 70 for the
least expensive package including feline
interaction Spanish pricing and by request. This
package includes monkey interaction, farm
animals, horseback riding, etc. The website is
unclear and we have seen package prices have
changing discounts and prices.

Is Petting Tiger Cubs Legal?
Yes, these businesses are 100 legal here in
Mexico. Although traveling circus animals like
big cats have been phased out here in Mexico,
these facilities are legitimate. In my
experience, the facilities at Pai Pai are very
clean and well-kept. This is not the case in many
public zoos I have visited in other countries in
my world travels. And I dont know about the care
practices there.

Is Tiger Cubs Safe at Pai Pai?
Carnival Cruise Lines is currently recommending
against the Pai Pai Excuruison. I understand
there was an incident where a man was bit in the
calf and had puncture wounds enough to seek
medical attention. This has not happened with
our tours.

Are the Animals Well Treated at Pai Pai?
I honestly cant say since I dont work there. I
will say that it is clean. Many of the animals
are nocturnal, so daytime petting is not normal
for their circadian rhythm. Likely they are
lightly sedated for safety.
